http://www.stinkywinkles.com/I believe Ian very nicely emailed and asked that the site be changed - as all this nob has done is totally rip not just ALL the code - but the design and AS too. All he recieved was some noncey email about Ian having given him the code before - which is total BS.
Please feel free to email this prick at:

For the love of chri$t.....
When will this end? I know some of you here think that taking elements of one's site and using it as inspiration is cool.....that is not the point of this post. Sure get inspired, create good work.....
The problem at hand, which we all need to deal with, is the idea that taking a website, pixel for pixel, line of code for line of code, is somehow "okay"....that is bullshit. I am baffled by the responses these idiotic thieves write....
Stealing a website, should be treated as if I walked into a gallery and stole a print, and scribbled my lifeless name on the back, and sold it as mine. It is a damn crime.
I have been trying to figure out what it would take, mentally, for someone to completely lift a website design, and label it as their own. They must be completely selfish, boring, lifeless, lazy bastards. Foolish....
thanks for listening.

I don't know why this winds me up so much. I think it's the arrogance. Taking inspiration from, and completely just taking from someone elses coding and design is a big difference.
I mean even the expand graphic is the same. He's done nothing at all to make the site his own apart from replace Ian's work with his own, and then has teh nerve to stick 'copyright 2006' at the bottom.
It makes me sick.

Honestly, when did this start? When did ripping websites become okay? I am looking for real clues?
One quick thought I had...maybe this is way off...but when consumer (non-designer & non-code dev.) were able to buy turnkey, out of the box websites? I mean having paid $12.99 for Website Shop Pro at Wallmart....shit....that means every site out there is $12.99, right?
Or, these sites that flood the internets with templates? Maybe the whole f'ing web is a template, no? Just pick what you want, swap the content....we are all cool...
These are just two ideas I have for the idiotic actions I am seeing everyday now....

is there anywhere in this world that states the web designer owns the rights to any css, html, etc??
does the original webber have anything to this??
how does one prove ownership with website design??
i ask as i am not a web designer nor do i know if any rights exist for your industry.
if there isnt any such rule or contractual document law, why hasnt any been made to protect your creativity?
if there is a law thing, how come no one has stated upon it??

Here you go e-pill: it is a start

I just realized that the Wire song "strange" is a rip of the Velvet Underground's "Sister Ray"

shoulderhawk..thanks!!
so who has the ownership.
the copycat sports the cool ©2006
the original does not.
where does this fall or how does it get solved?
the site is clearly the same but the content itself is completely different.i mean what happens when the originator of the creativity is knocked off such as this but they never copyrighted their original material??
this to me is effected in every industry, and i kick myself everytime i forget to copyright anything i create.
is there an answer to this?
